What Happens When You Season a Cast Iron Pan! Here is How Oil and Heat Can Form a Durable Coating.

Ahh, Cast Iron Pans. Love ‘em or Hate ‘em, they’ve been around for hundreds of years. With proper maintenance, they can last long enough to become family heirlooms. A cornerstone of this pan’s upkeep is seasoning, the process of baking oil onto the pan. Contrary to the name, you won’t need salt and pepper, but fat.

To season, you heat the pan covered in fat to scalding temperatures in an oven. What is left behind is a somewhat nonstick surface that not only helps with cooking but protects the pan from rust.

You can use the fat of your choice, but one thing to keep in mind is the smoke point, the temperature at which it starts to smoke. That temperature varies from oil to oil. For example, virgin avocado oil has a smoke point of 520 F, but coconut oil smokes at just 350 F. As soon as that temperature is reached, the seasoning process begins.

There are multiple hypotheses about what’s happening at the molecular level inside that hot oven. The predominant one is that the oil is polymerizing. Fats are made up of different fatty acids, like saturated and unsaturated. When heated, those acids break down into smaller molecules called monomers. And when monomers join together, they form larger molecules called polymers. When this joining happens over and over in an iron skillet, the polymers form a protective layer that keeps water at bay.

A group of researchers from Chongqing University studied this phenomenon in the context of another cast iron cooking tool: the wok. Woks, mainly used in Chinese-style cuisine, are usually round-bottomed. The team hypothesized that the slick surface formed during seasoning is due more to the iron than the oil. To test their hypothesis, the researchers coated a wok with beef tallow and heated it up. As the temperature increased, the fat started to reduce. And the scientists, using X-ray technology, started to see oxygen molecules sneaking into the places where iron was present. With this unexpected guest, iron atoms had to shuffle around to make space, creating small lumps along the surface. The final product is what the team called “iron nanoballs.”

They point out that these nanoballs didn’t make the wok completely nonstick, but rather made the surface conditionally hydrophobic. That means that it repels water when there isn’t much around, but gets wet when there’s a lot of it. The study authors claim this property comes in handy during cooking, because if the pans are completely nonstick, the fat will lump together, causing uneven cooking. If the surface can get wet, it creates an even layer, and the food can cook evenly as the water evaporates, creating less charring.

"Wish you were here"

Me too, Wes. Me too.

#Raise a coconut if you too wish you were on a tropical beach vacation with Wesley. 🥥🌴🥥🌴🥥#I could fan him with a fallen palm frond. Apply the sunblock and/or tanning oil of his choosing. Whatever he needs.#Imagine splashing around in the water or building sand castles with him.#God that sounds like heaven #also his shadow eerily resembles the 1994 self-titled Korn album #he's a tall boi #Wes Borland #Limp Bizkit #nu-metal #Black Light Burns #Wild for Wesley on Wes Borland Wednesday #down the rabbit hole

“Coconut Milk” The Heart of Thai Cuisine 🌴🥥🇹🇭

When you think of fruit in Thailand, the image of the coconut inevitably comes to mind, conjuring visions of palm trees swaying in the breeze.🌴

It's only natural to think of the coconut as one of Thailand's signature fruits, alongside the durian. In Thai culinary tradition, coconut milk, known locally as "Ka-Ti," is not merely an ingredient but a fundamental element ✨.

🥥 Its rich, creamy texture with slight notes of melted butter, profoundly influences the flavor dynamics of Thai cuisine. This indispensable component lends dishes a distinctive character that is both versatile and integral to the regional variations across the country.

[ Why is Coconut Milk important to Thai food ? ]

1. Creamy Texture

Coconut milk is celebrated for its ability to impart a lush, creamy consistency to Thai dishes. This texture is crucial, especially in main dishes such as curries.

In Thai desserts, it provides a silky mouthfeel that elevates simple ingredients into comforting sweets.

2. Flavor Balance

Coconut milk softens the intensity of chili peppers while enhancing other flavors. Furthermore, coconut milk enables a more nuanced flavor profile, allowing other ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves to surface and be appreciated in the palate.

3. Creativity in Regional Cooking

Coconut milk is a versatile ingredient used in both savory and sweet dishes. Each region of Thailand utilizes coconut milk in uniquely expressive ways.

[ 🇹🇭 A Taste of Thailand: Coconut Milk Featuring Four Regions 🍽️ ]

📍Central Regions

In Central Thailand, coconut milk is used liberally to create smooth, rich textures in both savory and sweet dishes. This region emphasizes a balanced flavor profile, where the creaminess of coconut milk complements the heat of chilies and the tang of citrus and tamarind.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Tom Kha Gai (Sour and Sour Soup), Gaeng Kiew Wan (Green Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Tuay (Thai Coconut Custard Dessert)

📍 Southern Regions

Southern Thailand's cuisine utilizes coconut milk to tame the intense spiciness of its dishes and to complement the abundant seafood.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Golek Chicken (Grilled Spicy Chicken), Gaeng Pu Bai Cha Plu (Crab Meat Soup with Wild Betel Leaf)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Co (Rice Flour Dumplings in Sweet Coconut Cream)

📍 Northern Regions

For the traditional cuisine of Northern Thailand, it is characterized by a distinctly unique taste, and the ingredients must come from natural sources.

For example, Northern Thai cuisine generally avoids adding sugar, instead relying on the natural sweetness of the ingredients used in cooking. One of the ingredients that adds a rich flavor is coconut milk.

Coconut milk is an ingredient that not only enhances the richness of the dish but also ensures that the flavor of the main ingredients remains prominent.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Khao Soi (Thai Curry Noodle Soup), Gaeng Yuak Gluay (Banana Stalk Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Sila-On (Pandan Coconut Sweet Pudding)

📍 Northeast (Isan) Regions

Isan cuisine is primarily known for its bold flavors, emphasizing the use of herbs and strong seasonings such as chili, lime, and fermented fish sauce. These ingredients are combined in a variety of ways to enhance the intense flavors of the dishes. Due to this preference for robust tastes, coconut milk, which is milder and adds a creamy texture, is not very popular in Isan cooking.

🍲 Highlight maindish : Mee Ka-Ti Isan (Noodle with Coconut Curry)

🍨 Highlight dessert : Khanom Mok Ma Prao (Thai Coconut Rice Dumpling)

💡 Did you know ?

Not only the coconut milk. but also other coconut products, including oil, and desiccated coconut, are typically featured in Thai cuisine.

For example, coconut oil is widely used for frying and in desserts, while desiccated coconut is often sprinkled over sweets and sometimes savory dishes, adding texture and flavor. These products showcase the versatility of the coconut in Thai culinary practices, reflecting its deep-rooted significance in the country's food culture. 🥥🌴🇹🇭

"กะทิ" หัวใจสำคัญของอาหารไทย 🌴🥥🇹🇭

หากนึกถึงผลไม้ของไทย “มะพร้าว” 🌴 ก็เป็นหนึ่งในผลไม้อันดับต้น ๆ ที่ถูกนึกถึงนอกเหนือจากทุเรียน โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง ในแง่ของการทำอาหารไทย“กะทิ” น้ำสีขาวข้นที่ได้จากการคั้นมะพร้าวแก่ ก็เป็นหนึ่งในองค์ประกอบที่สำคัญและจำเป็นอย่างยิ่งของอาหารไทย ✨

🥥 เนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนละเอียดผสานกับรสชาติเข้มข้นหอมมันของน้ำกะทิ มีอิทธิพลอย่างมากต่อพลวัตของรสชาติอาหารไทย ส่งผลให้เมนูอาหารไทยเกิดเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัวอันโดดเด่น

[ เพราะเหตุใด “กะทิ” จึงมีบทบาทสำคัญของครัวไทย ? ]

เมื่อมาดูเมนูอาหารไทย ไม่ว่าจะเป็นอาหารคาวหรือขนมหวาน เราจะพบว่า "กะทิ" เป็นหนึ่งในส่วนประกอบที่มักจะปรากฏอยู่เสมอ 🥥

1. เนื้อสัมผัสที่มันและเข้มข้น

กะทิเป็นวัตถุดิบที่โดดเด่นในการเพิ่มความมันนุ่มนวลและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เข้มข้นให้กับอาหารไทย ซึ่งเนื้อสัมผัสนี้มีความสำคัญโดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในอาหารประเภทแกงต่าง ๆ

สำหรับขนมหวานไทย การใส่กะทิจะเพิ่มความละมุนและเนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนนุ่มมากขึ้น

2. ความสมดุลของรสชาติ

การใส่กะทิจะช่วยลดความเผ็ดร้อนของพริกซึ่งมักจะถูกใช้ในอาหารไทย ตลอดจนช่วยเพิ่มความซับซ้อนของรสชาติที่เสริมเน้นรสชาติของวัตถุดิบอื่น ๆ เช่น ตะไคร้ ขิงอ่อน และใบมะกรูด ให้โดดเด่นกลมกล่อมยิ่งขึ้น

3. ความคิดสร้างสรรค์ในภูมิภาคต่าง ๆ

กะทิเป็นส่วนผสมที่หลากหลาย สามารถใช้ได้ทั้งในอาหารคาวและหวาน โดยในแต่ละภูมิภาคของประเทศไทยจะนำกะทิมาใช้ในวิธีที่แตกต่างกันและมีเอกลักษณ์เฉพาะตัว

[ 🇹🇭 กะทิไทย ไปไกลทั้ง 4 ภูมิภาค 🍽️ ]

📍ภาคกลาง

ในภาคกลางของประเทศไทย กะทิจะถูกนำมาใช้อย่างแพร่หลายเพื่อสร้างเนื้อสัมผัสที่เนียนและลดระดับรสชาติที่เข้มข้น พร้อมเสริมสมดุลของรสอาหารทั้งในอาหารคาวและหวาน อาหารไทยตำรับจากภาคกลาง จึงมีรสชาติอาหารที่สมดุล ไม่เผ็ดจัดจ้าน หรือ หวานเค็มจนเกินไป

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ต้มข่าไก่, แกงเขียวหวาน

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมถ้วย

📍ภาคใต้

อย่างที่ทุกท่านทราบกันดี อาหารใต้ของไทยมีความเผ็ดร้อนเป็นหนึ่งในเอกลักษณ์ที่โดดเด่น สำหรับการใช้กะทิในครัวอาหารใต้นั้น เพื่อลดระดับความเผ็ดร้อนที่รุนแรงสำหรับบางเมนู และยังช่วยเสริมรสชาติของอาหารทะเลให้ดียิ่งขึ้น

🍲 อาหารจานเด��น: ไก่กอและ, แกงปูใบชะพลู

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมโค

📍ภาคเหนือ

สำหรับอาหารประจำภาคเหนือของประเทศไทย จะมีจุดเด่นที่รสชาติที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์อย่างเด่นชัด และวัตถุดิบส่วนใหญ่คงไว้ซึ่งรสตามธรรมชาติโดยไม่แต่งเติม เช่น อาหารเหนือมักจะไม่นิยมใส่น้ำตาล แต่จะอาศัยรสชาติจากตัววัตถุดิบที่นำมาประกอบอาหารแทน หนึ่งในวัตถุดิบที่สร้างความกลมกล่อมได้ดีคือ กะทิ นั่นเอง

นอกจาก กะทิ จะช่วยเพิ่มความกลมกล่อมแล้ว ยังช่วยเสริมให้รสชาติของส่วนผสมหลักโดดเด่นยิ่งขึ้นไปอีกด้วย

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: ข้าวซอย, แกงหยวกกล้วย

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมศิลาอ่อน

📍ภาคตะวันออกเฉียงเหนือ (อีสาน)

อาหารอีสานส่วนใหญ่จะมีจุดเด่นในเรื่องของรสชาติที่จัดจ้าน เน้นการใช้สมุนไพรและเครื่องปรุงที่ให้รสชาติแรงและชัดเจน เช่น พริก มะนาว และปลาร้า อีกทั้งยังมีการใช้เครื่องปรุงที่หลากหลาย ส่งผลให้รสชาติของอาหารเข้มข้น บทบาทของกะทิจึงไม่ค่อยเป็นที่นิยมในครัวอีสานมากเท่าไหร่

🍲 อาหารจานเด่น: หมี่กะทิอีสาน

🍨 ขนมหวานเด่น: ขนมหมกมะพร้าว

💡รู้หรือไม่?

อาหารไทย ไม่ได้ใช้เพียงแค่กะทิซึ่งเป็นส่วนที่คั้นน้ำออกมาจากเนื้อมะพร้าวเพียงอย่างเดียว แต่ยังมีผลิตภัณฑ์อื่น ๆ จากมะพร้าว เช่น น้ำมันมะพร้าว และมะพร้าวขูดแห้งที่มักถูกนำมาใช้ในอาหารไทยอีกด้วย

ยกตัวอย่างเช่น น้ำมันมะพร้าว ถูกนำมาใช้ทอดและทำขนมหวาน ส่วนตัวเนื้อมะพร้าวขูดแห้งมักถูกโรยหน้าในขนมหวานและบางครั้งก็ใช้ตกแต่งอาหารคาว

ความหลากหลายทางผลิตภัณฑ์จากมะพร้าวตรงนี้เอง เป็นสิ่งสะท้อนถึงความสำคัญของมะพร้าวที่ฝังรากลึกในวัฒนธรรมอาหารไทย ได้เป็นอย่างดี 🥥🌴🇹🇭

Beautifully happy, healthy and sustainable 🌲🌳🤗

Good evening happy, healthy life seekers 🤗

There's no doubt, here at TOFF, our happy place is always outdoors.....we live in military cargo shorts and T's in Spring/Summer and military cargo pants and wool jumpers in Autumn/Winter merrily working and creating outside; turning our organic botanical day dreams into healthy food, animal shelter, flower power and natural products 😊

Budgets & Life Changes 💷🤔

Throughout the last few very turbulent years many of us have undergone huge, transformational life changes; personal relationships, work, homes, families, continents......and many find themselves in a position of 'starting over', a fresh, a new, in order to create a truly wonderful, happy and healthy new future.

With this in mind, budgets have become very constrained and some stress levels may have risen.

To calm our minds, bodies and to help with our financial pockets lifestyle changes can be made on a budget, always with health and happiness in mind 🤗

Here at TOFF our ethos is organic and this embodies; reuse, mend, recycle, rejuvenate, repurpose, relive!

Millions discard items considered no longer of use, this is great, we should all practice this..... a minimalist, clean, healthy home, man cave, sheshed, workshop which is organised and free of clutter actually helps those stress levels come tumbling down 🤗🎉🙌

It also presents an opportunity to acquire items for free or only very few pounds....... don't be afraid to barter or ask if the seller could gift them to you / reduce their price......you'd be surprised 🎉

Repurpose, Rejuvenate, Relive ,🤗

TOFF tips :-

Old timber windows ~ often disused, left in a skip, at the side of the road or advertised on free cycle sites!

These make a great cold frame for growing your lovely organic foods ~ a complimentary mini greenhouse 🎉🥕

Very often soil and timber are also given away for free.

Your only financial outlay maybe a few screws, hinges and organic seeds then hey presto a weekend project will yield a happier you and food too 🥕🌿🎉

Cardboard egg cartons, toilet paper rolls, kitchen paper rolls ~ ideal for growing seeds 🌿

Fill the rolls with compost and place in the egg carton,

Sow the seeds directly into each roll, water and allow to germinate,

Ideally maintain a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius/ 64 degrees Fahrenheit,

As soon as the seedlings have germinated and are ready to plant out, the rolls can be planted directly into the soil and they will biodegrade, the carton can also be either reused or planted into the soil too 🎉🌿🥕🍒🍓

Go natural ~ make your own 🌴🪥😬

TOFF tips:-

Toothpaste ~

2 tablespoons of coconut oil

1 tablespoon of baking soda

6 drops of peppermint oil

6 drops of lemon oil

6 drops of teatree oil

Mix well, into a paste and place in a recycled, steralised dry jar with a lid 🙌🪥😬

Deodorant ~

500 ml bicarbonate of soda

500 ml potato flour / cornflour

500ml coconut oil

5-10 drops of your favourite essential oil......our favourite is Jasmine 🌸

Mix all the ingredients together, if the coconut oil is hard, melt it over a waterbath. Place in a recycled steralised jar with a lid, apply using a reusable cloth cotton pad or reusable spatula 🥥 🌸

We love sharing our tips and recipes with you, as always, if you have any top tips or questions we would love to hear from you 🤗 feel free to email us :- [email protected]

Take great care of you, don't be to hard on yourself or others, kindness always happy healthy life seekers 🤗
